Flaky Crust (pie crust)

In my family, the desserts at Thanksgiving and Christmas are pies. So I could not make dessert for holidays until I found a decent pie crust recipe.

2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsps salt
1/3 cup ice water
2/3 cup lard
1/4 cup butter

Blend flour and salt. Cut fat into flour with a pastry knife until it resembles cornmeal.

Mix in water with a fork using only as much as needed to make dry ingredients form a ball. Roll out dough and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
